I don't believe there would be any problems in the latest versions of
MySQL; obviously you're not going to be manually resetting the index
manually. Just remember, that primary keys really aren't reusable so
choose a column type that will be sufficient for your purposes.
Something like:
...
id int unsigned not null auto_increment primary key
...
